#MUSIC #IDENTIFICATION HELP WANTED!
I've finally got transferred an open reel I bought from a recycling shop in #Toronto , ON, many many years ago.
Unfortunately I have no idea the artist, album, or song names!
Do you recognize any of the music, vocals or instrumentation in this sample I've prepared?

- Four tracks total
- Written on the box: NEON Rough Mixes
- AMPEX 456 Master Reel

Thanks!

Needed to compress a directory, and noticed that my script was lacking the ability to perform that action… so I’ve added a directory check to the xz9 compress script 💫
It should work, if you encounter problems, let me know ^^
It creates an .xz in case of file and .tar.xz in case of directory 📦

You can read more about my family's history with the boarding school that my late grandfather attended on #patreon.

I archived photos I took when we visited the school.

If you can subscribe monthly at any amount, it would be a huge help! I lost quite a bit of subscribers over the pandemic and my patreon is my primary source of income.

One of the things I'm most proud of finding is an #OhMyGoddess #AnimeV cassette tape featuring VERY rare archived recordings of the cast and creator talking about songs from the Tokuten-Ou album! I snatched it up the second I saw it, and looking into its history was a lot of fun!

More details in the description -- please check it out!

Another (re)discovery: Linux terminal console font was too small for my middle-aged eyes. How to resize?

`sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup`

then select VGA font of 16x32.

Interesting, too, how that bit of wisdom came from an ubuntuforums post from over ten years ago, when the original poster was still talking about Ubuntu 9.04. What will happen when the server finally dies? All that knowledge, disappearing...like tears in the rain....

Part of a larger thread here: https://twitter.com/KennyLauderdal3/status/1692989062951383373 (the first few QTs are also sound). But saw this specific tweet and it's 100% on point. So I'm doing the Masto thing and posting the tweet screenshot.

You need to enjoy what you do, because there will always be one person who appreciates what you saved. Sharing culture and history is fun! Do it for clout and you become someone that we all would rather avoid at parties.

Some folks on mastodon delete posts after a period, sometimes for privacy sometimes to save server space.

Is there a nice way to download a thread/archive it?

I don’t want to distribute them, I think there’s two cases:

1 I like having an archive of stuff I’ve said so I can look at it years later.
2 people have good advice/essays and I’d like to read them in the future.

@pinboard_pop Archival has always been an interest of mine. This is a great article and should be read by anyone interesting in #archive / #archiving .

My #HomeMedia #Server running @plexamp and #Plex has finally achieved my vision of running a mac mini with a raid5 array with 4 disks, and 24TB of usable storage. I enjoy #Archiving this stuff and of course I keep offsite weekly backups.

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'From #Handwriting to #Footprinting: #Text and #Heritage in the Age of #ClimateCrisis' by Anne Baillot.

How do we currently preserve and access texts, and will our current methods be sustainable in the future?

In 'From #Handwriting to #Footprinting', Anne Baillot seeks to answer this question by offering a detailed analysis of the methods that enable access to #textual materials, in particular, access to books of #literary significance. Baillot marshals her considerable expertise in the field of digital humanities to establish a philological overview of the changing boundaries of ‘access’ to literary heritage centuries, deconstructing the #Western tradition of #archiving and how it has led to current digital #dissemination practices.

We have fun here.
